China Doll Brawl
About two months ago, there was a fight between security at China Doll and patrons who wanted to go up the stairs of Tongli to Kokomo. The security guards beat patrons who argued with them. There have been a number of comments on the China Doll venue listing about the fight. I encourage that discussion to continue here.
A few points made in the thread:
happy sanlitun: Kokomo currently has a security staff numbering 0. As for those who believe that China Doll's security was just protecting their club from Kokomo, please take a look at the video below that shows how China Doll's bouncers not only block the stairs but also react quite violently to the person filming them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAz63lW4LXs
liminalspace: Sorry, but I don't care about lighting equipment and water damage ... I DO care about my younger sister being harassed, bullied and physically prevented from going upstairs to Kokomo by China Doll security. And I am not just referring to last Friday...it keeps happening...I hope after the violence this will be the last I hear about China Doll and their terrorizing of people in the stairwells on Tongli.
chunglist: The doormen that have been aggressive on behalf of Club China Doll have been fired, outright and never to return. The club has also taken it upon itself to spend money and time enlisting help to train their security staff. The improvement is clear when you visit the club now. Fact


Just to clarify for folks (since I only just found out) the current "Club ChinaDoll" is not run by the people who started China Doll (it was sold to another group who is not supposed to be using their name). The new China Doll due to open this Summer is run by the original folks, so there definitely won't be the nasty issues with them that there are with the people who do Club ChinaDoll.
